Renaming the profile is probably what's needed, but for someone with
"limited computer knowledge" a different kind of help is needed. That
website is fine for me, but would be Greek to many others I know.
Reinstalling doesn't help because that doesn't replace the profile.
Perhaps this explanation will work better:
Open Windows Explorer, and under [Computer] open the [C] drive.
(You 'open' drives and folders by double-clicking on them.)
If you're using Windows XP:
Then open the [Documents and Settings] folder,
then the folder whose name is your user-name
then [Application Data],
then [OpenOffice.org],
then [3].
Now you'll see the [user] folder.
Right-click on it and change it's name to "user.old".
If you're using Vista or Windows 7:
Open the [Users] folder,
then [Owner] (or your user name),
then [AppData],
then [Roaming],
then [OpenOffice.org],
then [3].
Now you'll see the [user] folder.
Right-click on it and change it's name to "user.old".
Now, re-start OpenOffice.

At least renaming the profile is not that difficult, there is a
screenshot of the dialog needed to make the hidden files displayed, it
can help.

Thank you for your reply.
I took a look at the Web Page mentioned in your email; however this
is well
beyond my capabilities.
I did try another install using a fresh file, but I got identical
results.
Guess I'll have to give up on Open Office.

Hi,
See

Try to rename the registrymodifications.xcu file in the user
profile; If no change, rename the whole folder.
You may experience such issue when there are heavy changes between
versions.

First, I find your Mail List confusing; there should be something
at the start of the
Subject field to identify Apache; like OoA; or whatever.
I'm not certain I'm sending this message to the correct place.
Now onto my problem:
I am using Win7-32.
I had OO 3.3, and it was working well.
I downloaded the 3.4 file, ran it, and everything seemed O.K.
But when I started the new OO it opened O.K., and I even loaded a
spreadsheet and it looked
fine for a short time, then OO brought up an error message stating:
"Open Office Document Recovery".
I got out of this, but this same error keeps repeating.
My existing documents, when I can see them, appear to be O.K., but
this
"Document Recovery" thing seems to be in a loop.
I've uninstalled 3.4 (and of course 3.3)
Please understand, I am an older guy with very limited computer
knowledge,
so I can provide very little help.
John.
